Cliff edge? There is a different view.

From the way it is reported in MSM, the world and its wife thinks leaving the EU is going to be an utter disaster.  Well, it could be if enough people put up obstacles that make the UKs bargaining position utterly compromised.   

Which is what the SNP and Labour seem to be about these days.  One wonders whose side they are on.  For the SNP, that’s obvious, their own narrow agenda of self-rule.  

But Labour, they are in a different space.  They are a UK wide party.  So why are they now turning against the UK and in effect supporting a foreign government?  We might as well start calling the EU a foreign government for that is what they are in effect becoming.   

One Army.  One foreign policy.  One Chancellor of the Exchequer.  One head of state.   

But, not all of the establishment are so enthralled by the undemocratic leanings of the EU and the EC.  And they don’t all think that it’s a cliff edge either.  Some think WTO is just fine, acting in the same way as the USA and China and just about every other nation in the world.  

So why are we not hearing this alternative view more often?  

I think you will have to ask those with an agenda who want to see the worst possible outcome of the “negotiations” so they can say “I told you so.”
